Chapter 93 Price Negotiation
After Chen Xi and them came back from Nanyun, the news that "Border Storm" was shut down and finished was known to many people.
"Is this going to shut down? It's only been a little over a month in total, and judging from the shooting time, the movie should be a bad movie......"
"Don't deny it like that! Just because a movie takes a long time doesn't necessarily prove that it's a good film......"
There was a lot of discussion, but there were not many of them.
The obligations of the promoter company have basically been fulfilled, and Chen Xi has not insisted on bombing "Frontier" recently.
One thing, doing too much, that also becomes annoying, always holding people's ears and saying, come and watch my movie! This may not be possible.
On the contrary, it is counterproductive.
Therefore, for many fans, or people who pay attention to the film and television industry, "Border Storm" is probably just a movie that needs to be mentioned to remember.
to mention to let them remember...... Well, let's wait a while.
In this era, it is easy to become famous, but it is not easy to become famous.
…… In any case, "Border Storm" has finished filming all the materials, Chen Xi looked at these materials, pulled a few people, and began to edit.
It's still the old donkey's studio.
"Chen Xi, you are really impressive!"
When he saw the old donkey, the shock in his eyes was not hidden, last time, Chen Xi ran away from him in a hurry, with panda eyes that stayed up late for a few days, and after that, "Latent" became popular in China, and he remembered the last time Chen Xi cut a film here for the TV station to review.
The reward for the effort, this time, is so frankly displayed in front of the old donkey, perhaps this can be packaged into a simple and crude success story.
Editing is not difficult for Chen Xi.
Delete the complicated and simplify the three autumn trees, and here's why.
The whole movie of "Border Storm", after all, is in his head, and the goal of editing is ready-made, all he has to do is to copy that film and delete some unnecessary scenes......
Even if you don't use Chen Xi's memory, use Chen Xi's own to complete this qiē, it is very simple, much simpler than the re-cut of "Love at Parting......
Cut for two days, hair. The piece is cut out, and then, the fine piece is about to be cut out.
On the fourth day, "Border Storm" was sent to radio and television for review in 104 minutes.
Here, Chen Xi played a little trick: Originally, this film should be completed within 100 minutes, but Chen Xi deliberately added some more things that were boring in the review.
"Border Storm" involves many things such as drug trafficking, homicide, violence, etc., some of which are more sensitive, maybe there will be problems in the review, he put some relatively more sensitive things on this version, hoping that radio and television will stay in these places and ignore others.
This kind of little trick is also used by other directors, but "Border Storm" does not reverse anything, it just tells a sad and loved story, and many places will not touch the red line.
Therefore, if radio and television directly let the 104-minute version of "Border Storm" pass guò, someone's self-deprecation will hit themselves in the foot......
When the time comes, he will review it, and it will not be that version...... I can't explain it when I keep up.
The results proved that Chen Xi is an extremely outstanding person, he has been fighting wits and games with countless people for a long time, although he rarely wins, but he has indeed accumulated very rich combat experience, and the pulse of the radio and television is also accurate.
The construction of radio and television is really to delete those things that were specially added......
In this way, Chen Xima deleted these already redundant ones and sent the 97-minute version for review, which should not have any problems.
April 11th.
Chen Xi was temporarily relieved from the matter of "Border Storm", although there are still many concerns in this movie waiting for him to solve them one by one, but at the moment, more important things are waiting for him.
"If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" copyright negotiation!
In the conference room, the two factions are clearly divided, Chen Xi is on Suhuai TV, and now he is almost just famous, receiving a basic salary, and many other contacts are cut off.
Sometimes life is full of ridicule, when they cooperated with the two major cultural products of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and "Latent", which made Suhuai TV station rise successfully, Chen Xi and the TV station reached the point of mutual responsibility.
On the side of the TV station, sitting Xu Zhaokui, Xu Zhaokui has a greater say in the TV station because of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and his interests are also deeply tied to the TV station, so naturally he can't mess with Chen Xi.
He also wanted to temporarily cut off all contact with Chen Xi...... If this matter settles down, he is willing to recover, but now is not the time.
A bunch of businesslike faces, like squares on a playing card, equal on all sides, cold.
On Chen Xi's side, he, Ou Yangzhi, and Chen Xi's now familiar lawyer and his negotiation assistant, this negotiation is a difficult bone for both sides.
"It's almost time, let's get down to business!" On this side, the person in charge of the negotiation, Xiao Dongfei, had a straight face, and even his tone was like a machine: "Suhuai TV is willing to buy out all the copyrights of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" at one time, including advertising revenue, intellectual property development ......"
He used a cold and cold tone like electronic synthesis, and said all the copyrights of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" in one breath, and then said: "And we will negotiate these in detail, and we are willing to give you some economic compensation for your losses." ”
Chen Xi did not speak, but waited for his lawyer and negotiator, Luo Juanchen, to speak.
Luo Juanchen is a very intellectually beautiful woman, her actual age is more than forty, and on the surface, she is probably only in her early thirties.
This person is shrewd and capable, has a lot of experience, and used to be a cultural lawyer in her main profession, so she also has a lot of help for "Deep Space Film and Television".
Luo Juanchen opened the Wen Jiàn folder, but his eyes didn't look at it, he just said: "We generally accept your request, and we are willing to accept your financial compensation!" We are willing to give an amount of 40 million, and we believe that this 40 million is nothing compared to the income of "Do Not Disturb". ”
"Forty million?!"
Xiao Dongfei frowned slightly.
Some other employees of Suhuai TV already thought in their hearts that Chen regretted that they were opening their mouths widely.
Forty million, how is this possible?
Xiao Dongfei knew that he was asking for money all over the sky and paying back the money on the ground, so he was very calm, smiled slightly, and said, "This number is more than we expected......"
Thus began a dull negotiation.
Chen Xi had already brushed his face, and as for his psychological price, he had already informed Luo Juanchen of it, so he left first after listening to a few words.
PS: Sorry for today...... I don't want to mention it, I checked some information and saw the topics of interest, and then extended from these topics, and walked around Zhihu for an afternoon, and the time dragged on.
I recommend to you a film by a niche director, domestic, and quite well-done, but the director and his films are not famous. I really hope you can watch it carefully, Chinese movies are really bad, but that's on the whole, like TV dramas, there are always a lot of good works every year.
The director's name is Wang Jing, and his films: "All Year Round", "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", and "Da Ming Tribulation" are highly recommended.
